No 224: Varieties of Opinion on Friday's Mini-Budget

 AS could be expected, the mini-budget announced on Friday has proved to be divisive amongst economists. Basically, it has been welcomed by free market economists and criticised by interventionists. 

This (https://tinyurl.com/8nuyes9b) contains several short reactions representing views across what the article calls the "great divide" (from the Daily Telegraph, Daily Mail, Nigel Farage, the IEA, the FT, Daily Mirror, past officials from the Treasury and US Fed).

It is important for your own development as economists to weigh up these different viewpoints and to decide which of them you think is most justified.
